The Swan, Sherborne St John

Been there a few times with my wife, normally on Weekday lunchtimes or Saturday evenings. Food is normally first class, served quickly and of the highest quality.

Today took my son and his girlfriend with us for a late Sunday lunch. They forgot one of the Tempura Prawn starters, which when it arrived, still had uncooked batter around them, rendering them inedible. Roasts were made with what appeared to be undercooked from-frozen roast potatoes. Finally, ice cream, usually three scoops in a glass disk with chocolate sauce was served as a single scoop in a small china dish.

A great shame as the food here and service is normally of a very high standard. I hope it was just one off day with the regular kitchen staff missing. That said, we have no plans to return there on any Sunday now.
